Hello everyone,

My name is Eric Yashinski and I am doing my best to help my good friend Nate and his family in this immensely sad time. I had the honor and privilege of working with Nate and Margaret at Creekside in Carbondale for over 4 years. Margaret, or as she liked to be called Marge, was employed as a housekeeper and Nate was in the maintenance department. She was a mother of two beautiful children Paige and Kristana.

During that time we became good friends and enjoyed exchanging photos of my son Luca Thomas and their grand son Matteo. Marge was a mother, wife, and grandmother. She took great pride in her family and was a selfless soul who always put everyone elses needs first. She was always a positive energy and every resident at Creekside loved her. She was a fantastic cook and loved to create all sorts of delicious desserts for her family and friends.

Sadly tragedy struck early in the morning on 10/19 when Margaret was taken with the angels far too soon. While her family and friends were not prepared for this untimely departure, God had greater plans for her.

I ask that each of you look into your hearts and please consider how devastating the cost of funeral services and losing a household income could be. The gaping hole that is left in this family’s lives is unimaginable. This should be a time of mourning and celebrating her life and not a time of worrying about financial hardship.

Any amount that you can give would be greatly appreciated and never forgotten. I want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart. I promise that every dollar raised will help to see Margaret laid to rest properly and to help see that her family can properly mourn the loss of such an amazing person that was taken from us too soon.

Thank you all!
